QUENEAU’S ALPHABET: A Story Cycle

Arnie’s mother oversees Queneau’s Library at the end of their street, quite a grand structure if you omit those rotting, flooded lower levels. Still, it’s an interesting place to hang out with his three best friends. This boy’s dark adventure introduces us to Queneau’s neighborhood, where the pre-WWII bungalows are lettered rather than numbered, originally meant to help young children learn their alphabet. But these quaint-looking facades hide a history of sinister events. There’s a story for each house, each letter of the alphabet, 26 tales in all plus a coda. Over the course of Queneau’s Alphabet a variety of horror themes, characters, and motifs are explored: folk horror, killer clowns, drunken Santas, Halloween terrors, ghosts, possessions, nightmares, nameless creatures, dark crimes, and one ancient, infamous vampire.

Six stories are original to this volume. The reprinted pieces are from a range of sources, including The Dark, Nightmare Abbey, Black Static, Supernatural Tales, Weird Horror, and such anthologies as Wilted Pages, October Screams, Shakespeare Unleashed, and Best Horror Of the Year.
